The best time to do your estate planning is when you don't need it! The best time to protect your assets is now!
Call us and I'll assist you in putting together a comprehensive estate and asset protection plan. We believe in taking a look at your long term goals to create a system that builds true wealth for you now and easily passes to future generations.
With a well-drafted estate plan in place, our clients can be assured that their estate passes to whom they want, when they want, and is carried out in the client's intended manner. Working with attorney Janet Contero, Esq. ensures one's wishes will be carried out in the most effective and efficient manner so the family will not have to endure difficulties that may arise from not having planned ahead.
We concentrate on making it possible for clients to maintain control over their health care and financial affairs for as long as possible by planning in advance of disability. This is done through health care instruments such as powers of attorney, living wills and other health care directives. By preparing these documents, clients are able to let their desires be known and to name an agent to act on their behalf and carry out their desires if they are unable to do so themselves. These planning procedures can spare loved ones much hardship and stress during an already difficult time.
My mission is to be my clients' essential and trusted advisor, helping them make smart estate planning decisions through uncompromising integrity, trust and personal service. The best way to control your destiny and the future of your loved ones is by taking control of your assets and wealth and ensuring it grows and eventually passes on according to your wishes and designations.
The Living Trusts in combination with A & B Trusts as well as Pour-Over-Wills, the use of LLC’s, IRAs and other financial tools are the cornerstones and the preferred entities used to insure you leave your hard earned assets and treasures to your heirs and those dearest to you.
In your Comprehensive Estate Plan, you will use LLCs and IRAs to build present wealth for use during your lifetime. You will have the opportunity to name the Executor and Trustee who will administer your estate after you pass away. You can also name the people who you wish to be the Guardians for your minor children. More importantly, a comprehensive estate plan will avoid Probate as well as the need for a Conservatorship. During our free initial consultation, Attorney Janet Conter, will meet personally with each client to review and discuss the client’s wishes, nature and extent of the client’s assets, in order to determine what type of Comprehensive Estate Planning is best suited for each individual.
Attorney Janet Contero, Esq. will also advise clients on different methods of avoiding Probate, eliminating and reducing estate tax, [this may require referral or working in conjuction with a selected financial specialist or CPA], and setting up necessary programs and legal entities to compliment the Comprehensive Estate Plan.
If your family has experienced the loss of a family member, I can assist with legal matters to save you time and prevent losses or missteps from being made in order to preserve the wishes of the deceased and to spare loved ones additional stress during an already difficult period.
